I will be making about 1/3 lb hamburger patties and freezer them separately. Is this a good back size (considering the waste) to use?

personally I would make the patties and put them on a cookie sheet to freeze them and then put in a zippered freezer baggie. As far as these bags work - I have had no troubles with them and actually just placed a re-order for gardening season. I freeze green beans etc in them for the 2 of us and the pint is a good size for that.

6 x9 is about 2 cups. If the entire space is taken up with the patties, I would say this is a good size. of course you must leave 3" to get a good seal. We have had good luck with using our bags.Good luck.

I put 2 x 1/4 pound burgers in on of these, side by side , if you were to use 1 of the 1/3 burger size you would have a little slack space space but this probably your best size

Yes, we have had very good luck using these. Much cheaper than the name brand.

I've never used this in the freezer, but I got curious and poked around a bit and can find no mention of freezer use anywhere for this product. But, a similar question was asked regarding another size (Lustroware B-2896AA Smart Locks Jumbo Keeper 2.1-Gallon Food Container, Large, White) and was answered "unofficially" as follows: "I think it would do fine but am not sure how the clamps would fare being opened while super cold. I would let it set out for just a few minutes before unsnapping them."

Yes you can within a + or - 0.05 lbs. It will require a scale to put in the right amount of meat. Then some slight adjustments to achieve a firm pattie, filled to the edges of the press. I have made 5+ pounds of patties without having to readjust the press. The circumference of the pattie will always be the same but with variable thickness depending on the ounces you put in. When I next make them, I check the adjustment but usually it hasn't changed during washing and storage. The pattie paper is well worth a few dollars. I love my burger express, hope you will too.

I just gave it a test, you should be able to fit 7 , 3-1/2 inch wide burgers on the grill. I used ramekins and 3 per side were comfortable, one in center.

I am sorry I can not answer your question to the detail, because I had this for my Mom-in-law. But if you like to slice bacon like the package they sell at the store then you will be fine. Don't forget let the meat frozen a little bit. I believe it may go far back around 1/3 of an inch or may be more. Check more on specification. Hoping this help your question a little bit. Don't forget to clean behind the blade after use, it may build up from meat chrome.

Hmm never really thought about that if you got a good seal on the top patty and started cooking it from the bottom before you flipped it you should be ok. I will tell you this I have had cheese leak out because I didn't get a good seal between the patty and the bottom. Also I have used this about 10 times and it does take almost a pound of burger to make one burger patty and I have cooked all of mine in the oven at 350 for about an hour doesn't dry out and one is very filling lol

You need to pre-weigh the meat first, then it makes a perfect patty. Be sure to use patty papers to keep everything neat.

Sure, just don't put as much hamburger meat in it. You would just have a thinner layer of "stuffing", which may limit what you stuff them with.

You can pretty much make them as thick or thin as you want them. I think I get 4 burgers out of a pound of meat. I divide it up in equal parts.

Searched it on-line. It states 80 Sq. In. It's big enough for about (3) fairly large hamburgers and the overall size is small enough to not take up much counter space.

after pressing, the hamburger is 3 1/2" in diameter. It's a really good size for the bun. We hope this will help you. It is our 2nd press. I had to buy my college son his own press when he moved into a house off-campus with several classmates. He loves it!

For very small portions you will probably waste more of the bag using the pint size bags. You might still waste some of the bag using the portion pouches. I usually put like one pork chop, one hamburg or two chicken sausages or hot dogs in one pouch. I really like the portion pouches and use them all the time.

I make homemade ice cream and use the larger size for freezing it. Works great!

I just remove the frozen patties from the containers and store them in a zip top bag. That frees up the containers for use.

I purchased the middle size and it's perfect. Holds enough to feed my hungry man. I also purchased the small 4 pk squares blue ice pks They work great! I was putting ice cubes in a zip lock bag but as ice melted the bags would leak. The ice pks don't leak, and he just puts them back in freezer over night.

I use three of them in my freezer. Heavy, but handy to lift onto the counter. They stay somewhat organized. My ice cube trays do not fit into them, so the last quarter is open. I have been using them for a long time and none have cracked. You do lose a bit of space due to the sloped sides, but worth it, I think.
